NEW DESIGN!!!  I continue to be fascinated and inspired by the beauty of forget-me-nots and snapdragons.   My forget me not designs have been a symbol of memory for those who have lost a love one and I am honored that my designs are a part of such precious memories of loved ones!

Forget You Not – This is a bouquet of forget me nots on top of a bed of wild snapdragons

The Forget-Me-Not flower represents true faithful love, fond memories and hope. It is also a flower essence of the heart chakra.

Medieval German folklore declares that devoted couples garnished themselves with forget-me-nots to pledge they would never forget each other when separated.

There is a German myth about a couple taking a romantic stroll along the Danube River. They spot the beautiful blue blooms of the forget-me-not. The handsome and romantic gent attempts to pick a bouquet for his love, but tragically slips and is swept away by the river’s fierce current. As he is carried away by the current he cries out to her, “Forget me not my love!” It is believed this is how the flower was named.

Snapdragon symbolism – fascination, graciousness, and being friendly. The snapdragon is also a symbol of dignity, strength and resilience. It represents a unique beauty. It is also a flower essence of the throat chakra.

Legend has it in Germany that the snapdragon has the ability to ward off evil, bad luck or curses.

Symmetry is another manifestation of the balance of Yin and Yang, of the unimpeded flow of ch'i.
